CVS and Walgreens trip-LOTS of FREE!

Well, I FINALLY got my camera to work to post pics on here!! (well, I should say my hubby did,,thanks my love!!)

I hit CVS and Walgreens today to get the deals I was after and was so excited to see what I saved AND what I actually got for FREE!!!

The best I did was w/the Oral B crossaction power toothbrushes (got 2)-only paid $1.11, for the tax!!
Also- 2 Motrin PM and Baby Magic lotion- $0.56cnts for tax!
Dove bodywash, deo, mens bodywash and Vaseline lotion (big bottle)- $1.70-you guessed it,,tax ONLY!!


So alltogether my total BEFORE sales and coupons---------DRUMROLL PLEASE---------

$127.64

Total AFTER coupons/sales:


$25.94 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a 74% savings!

(I actually spent $32.94 out of pocket, but I also got $5 extra care $$ to use again at CVS and $2 Registry rewards to use at Walgreens on my next trip!-so I considered those to be savings too!)


Ok, Im soooo excited to see what we get next week!! thanks to Southernsavers.com!

CVS and Kroger trip

WOO HOO!!!! Well, Ive decided that I need to keep up w/my couponing every week, cuz lets face it, were gonna be a family of 6 REAL QUICK!! And anything we can do to save $$ at the grocery store and on toiletries, I have to be a part of, since losing my part time job...

My first trip was to CVS--not much this time, but still worth it, and I would have gotten more detergent, but they were already out :(

(1) Purex laundry det ($1)-what I spent
(1) Dial nutrium lotion ($1.99)-what I spent

total before coupons: $6

Total spent:$3..........not too exciting, but check back after SUNDAY'S shopping trip, I plan on getting a BUNCH of things, including 8 rolls Bounty pt, Pantene shampoo and Oral B power toothbrushes and Huggies Pullups!!...FOR FREE!! and much more :)



Okay KROGER--did MUCH better here, got alot for FREE this trip, but I have to specify the (2) Coffeemate creamers and Claussen pickles are not due to couponing...I had to call Claussen (which is actually owned by Kraft, who knew??), to get a free voucher, cuz the ones I bought were bad...and the Coffeemate was from Facebook...You'd be surprised, you can find ALOT of freebies on FB!! Coffeemate does this thing called, "Free Flavor Fridays" where they introduce a new flavor, and the first 200,000 get a free coupon up to $3.99!! Thats the BIG bottle, so I was excited, I put mine and Russ' email addresses in to get 2.....


SO..........Kroger deals

Heres what I got:

(7) Colgate toothpaste-FREE (on sale for 98c, had 7 -$1.00 off coupons, you should ALWAYS be able to get free tp, Colgate is ALWAYS on sale!!)-(I actually got all these for a charity were doing thru MOPS for Easter baskets--thanks Michelle!!)

(1) Sprite 2 liter- FREE (99cents on sale-had a $1 off Sprite coupon)

(3) Pillsbury Grands biscuits (8 count)- (57 cents/ea)

(2) Totinos pizza rolls-(40 cents/ea)

(1) Ronzoni spaghetti noodles-(29 cents)

(2) Ragu spaghetti sauces- ($1.15/ea)--that doesnt seem that good, but when their regularly $2 or more a jar, thats better!)

(2) El Monterrey frozen taquitos-(69 cents/ea)

(3) Chef Boyardee cans-(46 cents/ea)

(6) Healthy Choice frozen meals ($1.66/ea)-had a "buy 5-get one FREE"-so thats what they ended coming out to


**So, all together a pretty good week at Kroger-and w/the Mega savings event their doing, I also got (3) $3 off my next shopping trip-coupons, thats $9!!!

Also one common misconception---Kroger takes DOUBLE coupons up to $1, so if somethings on sale for $1, its FREE!

Im going to (hopefully!) keep up w/my savings each week, so check back....And you can become a "follower" also here on the blog...HAPPY SHOPPING!

Its a Girl!!!!!!!

Well, its been exactly a month since I last updated....(sorry Katie ;).....But I just wanted to tell you all whats been going on in our lives the last month....we found out were expecting our 3rd GIRL!!! which most of you already know now, but might not know were going to be naming her Molly (not sure of middle name yet)...

We also had a birthday day yesterday,,my little "Jakie-boy" turned 6 yesterday! I still cant believe my baby boy is that old, I still remember him getting his first teeth (yes, I said TEETH)....He literally had 4 of his baby teeth come thru at once, all at 5 mos old!! Now, were just trying to predict when they'll fall out :)....Yesterday started w/some errand running, including picking up some cupcakes and a balloon to take to Jake's class, his class was in the hall, coming back from lunch, and met us....All I saw down that long hallway, was 20-6 yr old all poking their heads out at once trying to see who was carrying the bright colored birthday balloon, then I see my Jakes sweet face, grinning EAR TO EAR, like you all know he does,,,was too funny and cute,,he just beamed, he felt like a million bucks!!so we left and after school I took the kiddos to Baskin Robbins for ice cream for his bday.....btw- the kids cone is only $1.29!!! Thats a great deal, much cheaper than going to Marble Slab....so we ended the day on a good note, and Jake has a fun baseball game party to look forward to on Saturday...

Well, just updating the week for ya, I also had a garage sale this past weekend, that went well....We made $365!!!! Thank you Lord for my life!!
